Yet another delay for blue laser devices

As time passes, the date of release for blue laser-based disc readers/burners gets farther and farther.
And this time it is for both HD-DVD and Blu-Ray.
The culprit this time? It's the AACS super-dupper copy protection scheme, supposed to be absolutely un-hackable [is there a DeCSS Jon in the audience?] The skinny? The various involved actors can't agree on the final specs, so the whole thing has been postponed to a later date (a meeting around the end of the month should try and iron out the differences.)
Basically you have Hollywood on one side trying to lock everything up, and the HD-DVD and Blu-Ray promoters on the other side cringing at the perspective of too user-unfriendly DRM schemes.
The only point on which these happy people have agreed is that you will pay your discs more than current DVDs.
